From what I heard is that the government has put a stop to the issuing of them but that there may be some in the hands of people that may be willing to sell them. If that is so & if they pay interest they will probably sell them at full value therefore you may as well stuff your mattress with cash.

What are bearer bonds?

Bearer bonds are a unique type of debt security in that there is no record kept of ownership. Whoever physically possesses the bond is considered to be the owner. Due to the fact that bearer bonds are ideal financial instruments for facilitating tax evasion or money laundering, the U.S. Treasury stopped issuing bearer bonds in the early 1980’s. Owners of bearer bonds take on considerable financial risk since if the bonds are lost or stolen it is almost impossible to recover the loss. Bearer bonds have become a relic of a past age and developed countries no longer issue them.

What were the advantages of Treasury bearer bonds?

The advantage of bearer bonds was that could be transferred easily and with that said, they had to be kept safe from loss, destruction and theft. Institutional owners typically contracted with commercial banks for custodial services. Holders of bearer bonds, or their custodial agents, also had to clip and send in for collection the coupons on the bonds. This process was expensive for banks that had to clip and collect coupons from thousands of bonds. Depending on a varied number of circumstances, bearer bonds had both advantages and disadvantages as well.
